to be fair,

wendy didn’t really

taunt me with sock yarn.

i might even

have asked her

if she had any of this

particular yarn

after seeing suzanne‘s

project pics on ravelry.

so,

i guess,

in all honesty that my own short attention span is to blame

and not wendy’s generosity in being willing to part with

this amazing sock yarn.

…um, now that i’ve told ‘the rest of the story’,

will some kind knitter please come over and frog the skew sock that i already started?

please.

i’m sure i don’t want to finish it,

but not so sure i can rip all those many rows of tiny, precise stitches out.

where is super grover when you really do need him anyways?

apparently contrast is my achilles heel. remember this?


i do love shibui sock yarn.

it’s soft and i have a

well known weak spot

for semi solid colorways.

still, it doesn’t give my skew socks

the pop!

that i envisioned.

my fingers keep knitting, but all the while my head is saying,

“why are you doing all this work to knit on the bias

when the greens transition so smoothly that the angles hardly show at all?”

then my so called ‘friend’ wendy

offered up this ‘opal hunderwasser‘

(but would a true friend

really dangle

boldly colored sock yarn

in front of a friend

who was halfway thru her first sock of a pair

in a much more subdued,

or dare i say

even boring by comparison, colorway?)

i am not so sure…
